Professor Zhang Liangren from the School of History at Nanjing University has found a unique and engaging way to transmit historical and archaeological knowledge to the public—through food vlogs. His approach, combining culinary （食物的） delights with fascinating historical insights, has taken China’s social media by storm, attracting a wide audience and gathering praise for its innovative method of storytelling.
Before digging into food vlogging, Professor Zhang Liangren usually dined at the school cafeteria or restaurants near his community. However, since he started making food vlogs in the summer of 2023, he has been exploring the world extensively, dining at a variety of restaurants that were previously unknown to him. Zhang Liangren frankly admits that he is far from being a qualified “foodie”: He enjoys good food, but has not yet reached the point of searching everywhere for it. What truly led him onto the path of a food vlogger was his passion for archaeology. While watching Zhang taste the food, viewers can listen to him explaining the historical stories behind the dishes. Although the food cannot be immediately tasted, the spiritual nourishment （营养） of archaeology has satisfied the taste buds （味蕾） of netizens, who have expressed their satisfaction.
Speaking of the situation at the beginning of filming, Zhang Liangren frankly admitted, “Because I rarely did these things before, I was quite uncomfortable in front of the camera at first. My Mandarin was not very good either, so my speech and movements were very awkward. But gradually, I got used to it, and overall, it’s much better than before.”
As for which places he prefers to visit for check-ins, Zhang Liangren states that he prefers shops with a certain level of fame, “It must be down-to-earth, the kind of place that caters to the common people.” He mentioned that he usually chooses small stands or shops with a long history and good reputation. Sometimes he also selects based on festivals, tasting the food while narrating the methods of preparation and the cultural significance behind the dishes.
（ ）24．What is most Chinese audiences’ attitude to Professor Zhang’s food vlogs
A．Supportive. B．Critical. C．Indifferent. D．Hopeful.
（ ）25．Why does Professor Zhang become a food vlogger
A．Because he is a competent “foodie”. B．Because the netizens like his vlogs.
C．Because he is crazy about archaeology. D．Because he wants to share various food.
（ ）26．What kind of shops will Professor Zhang choose for his vlogs
A．Small shops full of influencers. B．Little-known small stands or shops.
C．Fancy stores with good reputation. D．Small shops with century-old brands.
（ ）27．What can best describe Professor Zhang
A．Caring and talented. B．Creative and devoted.

For future humans to survive long periods on Mars, growing food on the planet is a must. It would be too costly and risky to rely upon rocket deliveries to meet the food needs of settlers. With this in mind, scientists are exploring ways to improve space farming.
Researchers work in a controlled greenhouse. They have identified a way that could improve crop production in simulated （模拟的） Martian soil, with different crops grown together. The method is called “intercropping”, invented by ancient Maya farmers in what is now Central America.
In their experiments, the researchers grew cherry tomatoes, peas and carrots together in small, round containers. Tomatoes grown in this way produced about double the amount of tomatoes grown alone—or “monocropped”—in the same simulated Martian soil. The tomatoes were also bigger. They flowered and matured earlier, gave more fruit per plant and had thicker stems. The amounts of peas and carrots did not increase with intercropping.
Rebeca Goncalves, an astrobiologist and lead writer of the study, said the research is the first time the intercropping technique was used in space soil, and that it was a big find—one that they could now build further research on. The crops were grown in simulated Martian regolith, a soil with no organic matter —a near-perfect physical and chemical match to real Martian soil.
The researchers added useful bacteria and nutrients. They also controlled the gases, temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse to match conditions expected in a Martian greenhouse. Intercropping involves growing plants with properties that could help each other grow. The method makes the best use of resources including water and nutrients.
The researchers said the tomato plants in intercropping may have benefited from being close to the pea plants. That is because the peas are good at turning nitrogen from the air, with the help of bacteria introduced into the soil, into an important nutrient. Overall, the tomatoes, peas and carrots grew well, though not as well as in Earth soil in the same greenhouse.
（ ）28．What is the benefit of intercropping mentioned in the article
A．Increasing crop yield. B．Preventing soil pollution.
C．Decreasing sunlight exposure. D．Reducing water consumption.
（ ）29．What role did the peas play in the process of intercropping
A．Enhancing growth of carrots.
B．Increasing fruit production in tomatoes.
C．Transforming nitrogen into a crucial nutrient.
D．Improving the variety of bacteria introduced into the soil.
（ ）30．What was the key finding of the research
A．Carrots benefited the most from intercropping.
B．The crops grew as well as they would in Earth soil.
C．The presence of peas helped tomatoes produce more fruit.
D．Peas and carrots showed significant growth improvement in intercropping.
（ ）31．What is the main idea of the article
A．Intercropping is developed for growing crops in space.
B．The study found Intercropping resulted in higher tomato yields.
C．Scientists are struggling to find ways to improve crop production in space.
D．Researchers successfully grew some plants in imitated Martian soil using intercropping.
D
“Having the world at our fingertips” is a metaphor often used when we put our hands on information technology, like smartphones and computers. This is a good metaphor. But what is much better is how we use our hands to make things done.
Put one hand flat on a surface, palm down, and you might be able to make out the outline of 14 short bones in your thumb and fingers, in addition to 5 longer ones in your palm that are jointed to your wrist. These bones give each hand its rigid, knuckled structure. Together they’re critical components of the anatomical （解剖的） architecture that allows your hand to move. At each of your fingertips there’s an ever-growing, translucent plate of fibrous protein, otherwise known as a nail. Although they’re nice for decoration, your nails protect and enhance your sensitivity to touch, too.
Imagine squeezing a piece of paper between your thumb and index finger, for example. We use this type of forceful pad-to-pad precision grasping without thinking about it, and literally in no time. Yet it was a breakthrough in human evolution. Other primates （灵长目动物） exhibit some kinds of precision grasps in the handling and use of objects, but not with the kind of efficiency that our hand does.
With a unique combination of traits, the human hand shaped history. No question, stone tools couldn’t have become a keystone of human technology without hands that could do the job, along with a nervous （神经的） system that could regulate and coordinate the necessary signals. Even for those who have never attempted to make a spear tip or arrowhead from a rock, it’s obvious that it would require strong grasps, constant rotation and repositioning, careful strikes with another hard object. And even for those who have done so, it can be a bloody business.
Of course, the most common object that people touch nowadays is a screen. And the tap-tap-tap movement of our fingers is a unique human ability, as no other primate can move their fingers as rapidly and independently as we do. Here again, we can thank the extraordinary human brain given that normal finger tapping requires the functional integrity of different parts of our central nervous system.
（ ）32．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．The structure of human hands. B．The function of human hands.
C．The movement of human hands. D．The number of bones in human hands.
（ ）33．Why are nails important for our hands
A．Because they make our hands more beautiful.
B．Because they help us hold things more tightly.
C．Because they are a necessary part of the structure of our hands.
D．Because they protect our fingers and increase our sense of touch.
（ ）34．What does the underlined word “coordinate” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Detect. B．Produce. C．Integrate. D．Interpret.
（ ）35．The author writes this passage to ______.
A．introduce the structure and function of human hands
B．compare the differences between human hands and primates’ hands
C．emphasize the importance of human hands in history and modern technology
D．show how the human brain contributes to the unique ability of finger tapping

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you were at school, were you ever told to stop daydreaming and concentrate It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren’t interested in what you were learning or if you had better things to think about. 36 But understanding how to do it, and knowing what is distracting you, can help.
Scientists have looked at what makes us delay and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone. 37 Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is best for concentration, or a gentle background music is great! It also found turning off notifications on your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand.
38 Psychologists and neuroscientists are increasingly interested in our ability to settle down and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make us concentrate. An article for BBC Future by Caroline Williams says that “Attention Researcher Nilli Lavie of University College London has found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions.” So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer.
39 These include making a list or timetable of the tasks you have to do, finding a workspace where you’re not attracted by other things, or chewing some gum! It’s possible the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted.
But according to Science Focus magazine, distraction isn’t all bad. “If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we’d miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. 40 ”
A．Distraction is vital for survival.
B．Staying focused can avoid dangers.
C．Performing visual tasks makes us concentrate.
D．One of the most obvious things is removing noise.
E．Staying focused can still be a challenge in adult life.
F．There are more practical tips to keeping your mind focused.
G．Another possible cure for a short attention duration is brain training.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Whenever Abigail opened the door to her aunt’s place for an after-school visit, she was greeted with the sight of her 3-year-old niece, sitting on the floor drawing with crayons. “She’s obsessed （着迷的）,” said her aunt.“Gosh, I’m envious of a 3-year-old then,” Abigail thought to herself.
Every day, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, Abigail would go over to look at herself in the mirror, thinking the same thing: I am just so…ordinary. It all started once she entered middle school, where her grades in all subjects were OK but not great, and she couldn’t sing or dance that well, or play sports. She wasn’t even good at making jokes as she was so shy. As she continued to go down the same mind spiral （漩涡） of “you’re not good enough, what kind of job could you get in the future being someone so ordinary ”, she checked the clock and rushed out the door to get to school on time.
Along the way, she saw Peter and Sally walking ahead of her. Two of the class’s top students, they were just so smart and dedicated. Peter always stayed behind after math class to continue working on the equations （方程式）. He was, like her niece was with drawing, obsessed and talented.
A few mornings later in class, something seemed a bit off with Abigail’s teacher, Mr Fry. He was normally quite active, moving quickly from the whiteboard to the podium （讲台） to explain some new knowledge points. But that morning, Abigail noticed that he seemed slower, not very with it. Then, as he asked the students to copy down a math equation, Mr Fry began shaking and then started to fall. Immediately, Abigail rushed from her sea t in the fourth row, managing to catch him just in time. He had fainted. “Someone go get the head teacher now!” yelled Abigail in a loud, clear voice. Fifteen minutes later, Abigail and her classmates watched out the classroom window at Mr Fry being wheeled across the parking lot on a stretcher （担架） to be put into an ambulance.
After two weeks off, Mr Fry was back, entering the classroom again to a round of applause from the students. His presence brought a sense of relief and normalcy to the room, easing their worry about his sudden illness.

You, who Exercise, are the Most Beautiful!
Dear fellow students,
Currently, regular physical exercise has been increasingly attached great importance to, but many students just bury themselves in books, not engaging in exercise due to various reasons such as busy schedules, academic pressure, and lack of motivation. This lifestyle can have negative impacts on both physical and mental health.
Actually, physical exercise is essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Not only does it help in improving physical fitness, but also boosts mental well-being. It is also a great way to alleviate stress and improve concentration, which can ultimately enhance academic performance.
Therefore, actively participate in exercise and make a commitment to incorporate regular exercise into our daily routine.

读后续写
As soon as the lunch bell rang, Mr Fry pulled Abigail aside. This was the first time she had ever spoken alone with a teacher. She rubbed her hands together and felt butterflies in her stomach. It was not until she heard a soft chuckle that she looked up to meet Mr Fry’s smiling eyes. “I’ve noticed your reserved nature and shyness, but what surprised me was your sharp insight, unique judgment, and calm response during my time of need. These traits demonstrate that you’re an extraordinary kid. Thank you for what you did.”
“Extraordinary,” the word echoed in Abigail’s mind as she walked home from school that day. It seemed as if the word had taken root in her heart. She had never thought that the word could be applied to her. “If I can break out of my shell, things could be different.” Abigail was determined to get the ball rolling. Since then, she has gradually dared to make eye contact when speaking, ask about things she doesn’t understand in class and discuss equations with her classmates. Once and for all, she learned that one should not sell oneself short or get tied up in knots and that everyone has their own unique spark and strengths, waiting for exploration and discovery.

37．安静最有利于集中注意力，或者柔和的背景声！我还发现，关掉手机上的通知，或者干脆关掉它，可以消除一个主要的干扰，帮助我们专注于手头的任务。可知，安静最有助于集中注意力，故选D。
38．根据前后文可知，本段仍然在讲述如何保持专注力的方法。本段提及的是通过对大脑调整来使我们专注。G选项，另一种治疗注意力持续时间短的方法是大脑训练，可以充当本段的中心句。故选G。
39．根据题后，这些包括为你必须完成的任务制定一个时间表，找到一个你不会想做其他事情的工作空间，或者嚼口香糖！本段依然在陈述保持专注力的方法和建议。且后文的代词“these”代指“practical tips”。故选F。
40．最后一段提及了分心也不是完全不好，太过于专注也会带来些许不利。所以分心也是有好处的。故选A。

读后续写：
【文章大意】
女孩Abigail一直觉得自己很平凡，成绩平平，各方面表现也一般。有一天，在开始上课时，她发现老师Mr Fry有点不对劲，后来Mr Fry开始发抖，快要摔倒。在关键时刻Abigail从座位上跑过去接住了Mr Fry，最后Mr Fry被救护车送往医院。几周之后，Mr Fry康复返校继续为学生上课。
【续写思路】
第一段给出的首句是：午餐铃声一响，Mr Fry把Abigail拉到一边。第二段给出的首句是：那天，从学校回家的路上，“Extraordinary”这个词一直在Abigail脑海中回响。由两段的首句可知，续写第一段的主要内容应为Mr Fry对Abigail表达感谢，并夸奖她“Extraordinary”。续写第二段则主要围绕Abigail的感想和心理活动展开，并升华主旨：每个人都是“非凡的”，都有自己的闪光之处。

W: One of my favorite things to do in my free time is snow skiing, and I have recently started snowboarding as well. Fortunately, there are about five ski resorts near my hometown, so there are plenty of places to ski. In order to ski, you need some basic equipment include snow skis, ski poles, ski boots, goggles, and some warm ski clothing. I purchased my equipment last year after the season was over when everything was on sale.
When I go skiing, I load my skis on the top of my car and drive to the nearest ski resort. I usually buy a season ski pass that allows me to go skiing as often as I want. When I arrive at the ski resort, I put on my ski boots and skis and head directly for one of the ski lifts. The ski resort has a number of ski runs for beginning, intermediate, and expert skiers. Personally, I usually ski down intermediate runs. I sometimes lose my balance or control and crash on the ground, but that is part of the fun of skiing. I always have to be careful not to run into anyone as I go down a ski run. Recently, I’ve decided to take up snowboarding, but it’s taking a little time to get the hang of it. Snowboarding is becoming more and more popular now that it is an Olympic event
